I believe that this university will meet India’s growing need of such professionals of world class excellence and expertise. Such an energy-focused university will enable India change its economic and social landscape dramatically.

I am sure that the University will inspire students to prepare themselves for life-long learning and leadership in the various sector globally. I would also like to reiterate the wholehearted support of the energy industry in realizing PDPU’s goals in terms of infrastructure, industry-networking and intellectual capital for these budding professionals.

This year, I look forward to welcoming the first batch of the B.Tech. programme in Civil, Mechanical and Electrical Engineering and hope we bring in a fine group of students to join the PDPU fraternity. While I wish them all the best in their academic endeavour, I hope that the school inculcates the desired values which will make each one of you a proud citizen of this great country.

Once again, I invite you to join Pandit Deendayal Petroleum University to satisfy the growing needs of the Industry and help the nation flourish with technical talent in order to bring prosperity and development.
